now it's obvious that the "Olympic disaster" wasn't just an accident. there is something wrong with our Taekwondo ! they have great players, good coaches, good preparation. I just can't understand what's wrong ?!

today they even lost badly, not even close ! Mardani had hard time against Kazakhstan before losing to Mahama Cho ! and only 40-50 days ago our 4th tier athlete beat this Kazakh guy quite easily. we have depth in this sport probably more than any other country but for whatever reason our top athletes can't deliver results !

 

no chance for Erfanian, which means Hosseini tomorrow is our last chance to do something here. we have kimia in the last day but she was injured the whole year and didn't participate in a single match after Rio, I don't consider her a medal favorite this time.

Oh what a final for Zeliha Ağrıs, she is just 19 and a world champion now. Despite of the disaster we have seen with Servet Tazegül, Turkey has 2 golds now and in 62 kg 1st ranked İrem Yaman will be competing. We might even have 3 golds after all.

Matijasevic retired after match against Mandic. Oh noooo :(

 

She was part of one of strongest Croatian female team. Probably strongest in Europe. Sumic, Zubcic, sisters Zaninovic. All of them were great.

Did she switch from Croatia to Macedonia? And after this match you mean she finished her career? :yikes:

Not only that, apparently we also have a new user from Turkey, that's reason to celebrate! :clap:

 

I don't know taekwondo that well but after the semi's I was convinced Kudashova would win the gold, and during the final as well, until Agris came back :yikes:

 

Walkden - Galloway was a disappointing final, but Agris - Kudashova and Jeong - Artamonov were really a whole lot of fun :d

Yes, this was her last match and it was very emotional after the match. I thought that she cried because she lost, but not. Reason is that she retired.

    • so, the Swiss reigning champions, who saved their ass in the last match of the RS, now are almost safe in the semis once again...   very impressive performance also by RB Salzburg, I didn't expect them to make such a good run, even if the 2nd leg match won't be easy at all and they're all but safe in the final four
    • Knockout Stage   Quarterfinals, 1st Leg (Part I) Tuesday 03.12.2024 - Results   Sparta Prague (CZE) - Växjö Lakers (SWE)  1-2 (0-0, 1-1, 0-1) Red Bull Salzburg (AUT) - Färjestad Karlstad (SWE)  3-1 (1-1, 2-0, 0-0) Genève-Servette (SUI) - Pinguins Bremerhaven (GER)  4-0 (2-0, 1-0, 1-0)
    • I guess 65, 79, 88, 110, 110+ will be the Olympic classes for 2028 (I don't think IOC would allow them to increase the number of gold medals available at the Games yet...most likely they want to to stay with the current lineup and see how it goes in the next Olympic cycle in terms of doping scandals before taking any decision)  or maybe they will keep those weights for the "regular activity" and later on they will set 5 different weight classes only good for Olympic purposes, with dedicated tournaments when it's time for the OQ (like Taekwondo, more or less)  but it's just my personal speculation, I have no infos from the inside 
    • Today the funniest tournament of the season, the Shoot Out, will starts
    • Luckily for us, it happened exactly as we thought. Unfortunately, the Serbian players had to play the entire match, the difference in value between the starters and the reserves being quite large, and thus at the end of the match their fatigue was evident.
    • if they limit the number of qualified athletes to 8 per category that will not exceed the allocated quota (marginally). I know 8 athletes only is a bit harsh but will be more competitive.  
    • Thank you for putting this together, it was fun to go through. From your keyboard to God's ears on Canada's short track team here (I believe you have us at 4-1-1, which is realistic if everything works out).   Leaving us off the podium in speed skating women's pursuit was interesting.   Three medals of any colour in curling would be celebrated at this point after two disasterous cycles.   In hockey, I'll always take our girls over the Americans (was "lucky" enough to see them lose in 2018 in person, though. Only time in 6 Games. Haha...hahahahaha...ha).    For the men, I said above unless Canada finds a goaltender I'm not too optimistic. USA is just too well rounded. But lots can happen by then, and in a one game elimination tournament. 
    • big decision by IWF   new weight categories, 8 for men and 8 for women from June 2025   Men 60kg, 65kg, 71kg, 79kg, 88kg, 98kg, 110kg, +110kg Women 48kg, 53kg, 58kg, 63kg, 69kg, 77kg, 86kg, +86kg   and this means all World records will be erased AGAIN !    https://iwf.sport/2024/12/03/iwf-executive-board-meeting-in-manama-brn-december-2-3-main-decisions/   I think that was a good decision, 10 weights was too much. but erasing the current World Records was the down side of this decision.   but does this mean they have some agreements with IOC to have all these weights at the Olympics ? that looks unlikely though  but looking at the numbers and the gap between weights none of them look like a "non-Olympic weight" at least that's what IWF thinks.
